The Story of Baden-Powell

CHAPTER VI
11/16

In the following year he killed forty-two, and won the blue-ribbon of hog-hunting--the Kadir Cup.

Two years afterwards he wrote and illustrated the standard book on pig-sticking (published by Messrs.

Harrison and Sons), which is as famous a book in India as Mr.
H.S.

Thomas's delightful books on fishing.
Hunting the boar takes place early in the morning and again in the evening, so that men find themselves with nothing to do for the greater part of the day.

This time is usually spent in the tent sketching, dozing, and reading, with occasional "goes" of claret cup.
But it is characteristic of Baden-Powell that he should give useful advice concerning these waste hours.
